"Wikis" are taking center stage both in search engines and classrooms as information sources for just about any topic imaginable. Far beyond being an online repository of collective knowledge and experience, it is a social phenomena that has meaningful (and sometimes controversial) instructional implications.

How can students not only use Wikis in their own learning, but become active contributors to these lively and active knowledge communities?=
